Press Release_

Kate Jacobs, author of “The Friday Night Knitting Club,” will be at Readers’ Books on Friday night, January 4, at 7:30 p.m., to talk about her novel. At 6:30 p.m. Sonoma Yarns will sponsor a “Knit Night” for those who would like to bring their needles and knit together.

Jacobs’ book is about a single mother who runs a Manhattan yarn shop where the regulars gather to chat about their stories of love, life, and everything in between. The heroine, Georgia, has her hands full, juggling running the store with raising her spunky teenage daughter, negotiating among her good friends in the Friday night group, warding off her ex, and possibly starting something new. Then something happens to make all the characters realize how important their connection is.

Jacobs is a magazine writer and editor living in Southern California; this is her first novel. Julia Roberts’ Red Om production company and Universal Pictures have optioned it for the film rights.

Readers’ Books is at 130 E. Napa St., Sonoma. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 707-939-1779.
